Well, I have to find the good parameters, but in my setup, the install kernel
is launched by loadlin. Because the console does not look very good in the
DOS steps, there could be a problem for the kernel to renegociate either the
console or the mode.

If it works for you, I now know that the problem is only on my side. I will
perseverate :).
